# IT subscriptions for companies.

You pay monthly, per user, and choose the right package for each member of your team.

If you’re not sure of the optimal setup for your company, you can request a free audit.

## What it includes and what it costs.

The subscription is billed monthly, per user. The operational base stays the same whatever the package: unlimited interventions, a response time of one hour at most for critical incidents, and 24/7 monitoring for every device.

The difference between packages is the working tools assigned to each employee, from cloud email and collaboration to the locally installed Office suite and advanced security features. You give each team member exactly the package they need, and the overall cost stays predictable: the invoice is fixed every month, whatever the volume of interventions.

By comparison, the traditional pay-per-incident model offers neither budget predictability nor contractual response guarantees.

### The same operational base, whatever the package.

- Unlimited interventions, on-site and remote
- Maximum response time 1h / 4h
- Hardware + software service and administration
- Technical support by email and phone

## Frequently asked questions.

### What does “per user” mean?

A user is a team member whose account and equipment we administer. If you have ten employees on the Essentials package, the cost is ten times the €30 monthly rate. Servers and the rest of the infrastructure aren’t included in this calculation; they’re billed separately, per device.

### Is a long-term contract required?

It isn’t mandatory. The prices shown apply to a 12-month commitment, but we also offer a no-minimum-term option, in which case the rates are 10% higher. All prices are quoted excluding VAT.

### What isn’t included in the per-user subscription?

Infrastructure (servers, network equipment, cloud backup) is billed separately. The same applies to equipment we provide on a monthly subscription, such as laptops or printers.

### Do response times differ between subscriptions?

No. The service-level agreement (SLA) is the same for every package: one hour at most for critical incidents and four hours at most for standard ones.

### What does the IT service subscription cover?

The subscription covers administration and support for users and equipment, 24/7 monitoring of every managed device, preventive maintenance, the IT audit, and unlimited interventions, remote or on site. On top of that operational base, each package adds a Microsoft 365 layer, from email and cloud storage through to workstation protection.

### Is there a subscription for IT support alone, without Microsoft licenses?

Yes. The User Desk package, at €25 per user per month, is exactly that: IT support and administration, without Microsoft 365. The other packages start from the same operational base and add the licenses on top, which is why you can give each employee the package they actually need.
